You must have been....8.0 had a broken package manager so adding sources was
very difficult. 8.1 was so sloooow it was like watching a fly in thigh
gumboots walking across a copper full of treacle. :)
8.2 sort of worked but supermount often decided to pack up and required a
reboot, something that just shouldn't happen in Linux ...

ASP is great for me I have an old P133 with 64megs of ram and an 8meg
videocard.. ASP is just so quick when compared with the other flavours,
though to be fair I haven't tried out debian yet and probably won't either as
I have this system nicely working now...The only thing I can't do properly is
install the latest Gramps (genealogy program) it needs the gnome2 libraries
and I have had no luck with getting them installed and running...
